Linda, I really like GENCIRCLES, also.....I agree, their search engine is good and the feature for trees containing same or similar names is really nice.....GENCIRCLES doesn't have the volume, yet, that ROOTSWEB WORLD CONNECT has, but is a great supplement to it, especially considering it has some variations....and, we know, with this "rootsdigging" game, we need all the little helpers we can find! : ) Suzy ~ What we do in life echoes in eternity ~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Baker" <ndnblu@texoma.net> To: <TXBOSQUE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 10:26 PM Subject: Re: [TXBOSQUE] favorite web site One of mine is www.gencircles.com It has a good search engine where you can add the mother's, father's or spouse's name as well.

That's okay Judy, just curious. There are so many Davis' and there probably isn't any connection. Thanks, Bernie

Dear Bernie, My husband Ronald Lee Davis' grandfather was Charles E. Davis b. 1898 d. 1983, and came from Little Orleans, Allegheny County, MD. but the family is found also in Buck Valley, Fulton County, PA. He has several remote cousins living in MI now. I don't know if any of the family came to Arkansas or not. I can try to find out for you. I don't have a lot of information on the Davis family, but my mother-in-law has quite a lot, so she may be able to advise me on this. Judy Davis

Judy, where did your Davis' come from? Mine came from Ouachita County, AR. My grandfather was a Davis (James Jefferson Davis). Bernie Alsup

Dear Friends, I want to thank all of you for your immediate response and great ideas. I may try or use all of them. I really appreciate the fact that you all care so much and are so willing to help a fellow researcher. Have a great day! Judy

A couple of years ago somebody sent me some information about preserving newspaper clippings. There is a liquid solution you can use. Try your search engine "preserving old papers....or old newspapers." I have lost the information and never used it. Also, when and if you copy the material on a machine, you should use acid-free paper. :-)

The recipe I have: Deacidfication Spray or Dip...... Mix 2 Tbsp Milk of Magnesia with 1 quart Club Soda.... Refrigerate overnite before using..... Dip or spray item, then let sit for about 1 hour..... Carefully place item on soft towel to dry....... There is also a commercial spray called Archival Mist....have not tried it, tho....it is pricey, but I am sure it works great...... Good luck!

You can at least save the info by making copies of them on a copy machine. I copy everything I have that is old so I can save the info. They have PC copiers now ( I have one) so you can work right at home. Reecie

Judy, I sent your query to genealogy-treasures and a copy of the email to you. Let me know if you get any help.
